What to expect

Reiki for Your Animal

Animals respond intuitively to healing energy and most are instinctively aware of the intention of Reiki to help them.

Most animals seem to welcome the experience however; in the event that they're not ready/open to receiving Reiki, they have their ways of making their feelings known. Similarly, they will often indicate certain areas of their body/chakras that require attention. They do this by shifting position, licking and/or giving other such signals through noise or movement.

Reiki is generally a relaxing and calming experience. As such, much in the same way as humans, some animals will actually drift off to sleep over the course of a session.

Some animals will often show signs that suggest they require treatment. Because Reiki can be utilized for the purposes of aiding in physical, emotional and behavioral issues, treatments can help an animal become a calmer and more socialized pet.

What are the Benefits?

Healthy, ill and failing animals can all benefit from Reiki Treatment.

For healthy animals, Reiki treatments help to maintain a positive state of health, enhancing peace and overall well-being.

For animals that are ill, Reiki assists healing at the deepest levels and is a safe complement* to conventional medicine. Reiki also helps to reduce the side effects of other treatments.

For failing animals, Reiki is a highly effective yet gentle way to provide comfort, pain relief, alleviate anxiety and fear and to ease the transition from this life. Reiki Healing can also provide support and help with grief for siblings of the failing animal, as well as for the animal's owner.

Reiki can help with issues such as:

eating disorders, loss of appetite

long/short term injury

pain relief

arthritis or rheumatism

immune system improvement

muscular aches, pains or strains

post-surgical recovery

skin conditions

behaviour issues

adaption to change/loss

stress, anxiety, depression, lethargy

Reiki Treatments

Reiki treatment for animals is very much like that of humans in that it is unique to the being receiving it. As such, sessions are developed to meet the needs of the animal, first and foremost. Physically laying hands on the animal is preferred, but is not necessary if the animal is not comfortable with physical touch. Sessions can vary in length from 10-45 minutes, depending on the needs of the animal.

conjunction with it. If your pet is experiencing health or medical problems, or
if you are in doubt, please consult a veterinarian.***
